I wonder, however, whether you mean that since no one's admitted it we can't say it's true, or are you aware of some methods of "enhanced interrogation techniques" short of torture that could potentially compel information from committed terrorists quickly? What I specifically mean, is that there is some ambiguity as to the precise definition of torture. I would also say there there clearly are "enhanced interrogation techniques" that are short of torture, and and that may possibly result in information being gained from terrorists, but that wasn't the point I was making (at least not the main point) in the statement you quoted.
